What does a Right, Left, and Middle call to get the setter to set them the ball?

Question

Hey i have played volleyball for 4 years so i understand it and everything but i am just drawing a blank at the moment (because i play middle) for what lefts and right call to get them to set them the ball (ie hut, 1 or 2, quick,) i was also wondering if you could give me some serve receive rotations (other thatn 6-2, 4-2, and 5-1 because i know those) thank you soooo much!

Answer 1

well an outside, left hitter, calls a 5 or a 4. a middle hitting calls either 3 or 2 . or quick. and then the right hitter can call a 7 which is a quick back set, an 8 which is kinda  high, and then a 9 which is just a regular hit.

Answer 2

i would say set here or try to get attetion because if you dont she may set to someone eles. I say SET ME

Answer 3

simply a 2 is middle a 5 is a backset and outside is 4 and 1 is a short set above the setter a little bit a bove the net to the middle or outside hitter

Answer 4

a left hitter will call spot 1, a middle is spot 5 and right side is spot 9. in most schools.

i hope you know left side is farthest from hitter and right side is a back set :]. and serve recieve rotations i dont really know. i dont go over them im just a libero.

Answer 5

Well I think this varies with the different teams. For instance, when I'm hitting on the left , I call that a 4. A quick set=quick hit is shoot. Middle set (nice&&high) is called a 2. A quick short set is called yea,yea,yea. [sounds stupid but it works]. Hitting on the right we call it a 3. If you if you want to hit in between middle and right, it's called a slide right. If you want to hit in between middle and left, it's called a slide left. But these hits require special movements.

Answer 6

I am glad you elaborated, I thought you were talking about dogs at first! I would assume that this kind of thing would change with different teams. I know in football, the quarterback calls out plays using random terms that only his team members can understand, and they says hut, hut, hut (or hike), to signal the halfback to pitch him the ball.

Traditionally the sets go by numbers.  I have been playing for close to 20 years and everywhere I go the sets are called the same.

Outside hitter/left side:  4 - normal outside set, to what you like.  This can be high or flat, but it varies on what you like, usually set all the way to the pin (antenna).  But it's still called a 4.  Hut - quicker inside set (meaning closer to the middle and farther from the antenna), usually a slow looping set, also call a 32.  Shoot - would be a very fast and flat set that goes to the pin.  

Middle:  1 - very fast quick set.  Hitter needs to be in the air before ball is set.  Setter will set the ball quickly and time the hitter.  This is a very fast and all about timing.  31 - very fast quick set, same a 1, except hitter is 3 feet from the setter no matter where he goes.  This again is a timing set, requires the hitter to be in the air and setter to time the hitter and get the ball to the hitter.  2 - also known as the "warm up ball".  High set to the middle.  Not very effective unless running a combo, or your hitter out jumps every player on the team (opponent) by at least a foot.  These sets can all be run in front and behind the setter, just add back to the number for the back side.

Opposite/right side hitter:  5 - normal back side set.  Usually the same as a 4 but run to the back side.  This set varies in hight depending on what the hitter likes.  Traditionally this set goes to the pin (or close to depending on if the hitter is right or left handed).  You also have the back 2 (see middle).  Not much else is used except for combo's.

the idea with all the sets it the KISS philosophy (Keep It Simple Stupid).  Set what your hitter can hit and as a hitter, talk to your setter to tell them where you EXACTLY want the set.

There are combo sets which require all the hitters to understand what is going on.  X - Middle hits a fron 1, opposite comes around the setter and middle and hits a 2 off the left shoulder of the middle.  Tandom - Middle hits a 1, outside hits a 32.  Inside - Middle hits a 31, outside or opposite (which ever you choose) hits a 2 between the middle and setter.  Also these can be run from the back - back x, back tandom, ect.

Back row sets are pretty simple:  A - back row set to the left side of the court, close to the side line, B - back row set to the left side, but closer to the middle, Pipe - back row set to the middle of the cour, C - back row set to the right side closer to the middle then the sideline, D (most ussed back row set - designed specifically for your opposite hitter when setter is in front row) back row set to the right side close to the sideline.  Stick with those and you will understand and be able to communicate with almost any setter in the world.

Serve rotations?  What you are talking about are offenses.  6-2 is 2 setters and 6 hitters.  Meaning setter always comes from the back row.  5-1 is 1 setter.  He set all the way around, no matter front row or back.  Rotations or where you stand for serve receive depends on who on the team can actually pass.  

Hope this helps.

Answer 8

well right is called C that is at least what we call it

Middle is called 2

Left is called 4

but i am pretty sure for every spot there is more than just the ones i gave you but these are the pretty main ones

Answer 9

Not sure what you are asking, but outside of the number system, the only thing I can offer is things like:

"yeah yeah yeah" - ME BIG MIDDLE HITTER. QUICK SET. GIVE BALL TO ME!

"outside!" - ME BIG OUTSIDE HITTER...GIVE BALL TO ME!

"hut" - ME BIG AND kinda QUICK OUTSIDE HITTER...QUICK SET BALL TO ME OUTSIDE!

ok, probably not what you are looking for, but at least I have succeeded in amusing myself...ME BIG YAHOO POSTER...GIVE POINTS TO ME !

Answer 10

Actually, to eliminate confusion, the setter should be giving calls behind her back and should be the one alerting the hitters.  The setter knows where she would be comfortable setting and should be the captain on the court.  She can also give the signal on her thigh.  If you are using the hitters to do this, the setter needs to hear who is calling.  If middle calls 2, that is 2 ball lengths above the net and is a quick.

Answer 11

some teams have different calls. my team had 4 and huts on the left, 2 and 1 or quick in the middle, 5 and slides on the right.

Answer 12

on front row facing the net..

left - outside.

middle - middle.

right - see/c.

back row.

back left - red.

middle back - white.

back right - blue.

HOPE I HELPED.
